It’s easy to become status obsessed when you’re a blogger. First, there was Tomato’s ranking of Australian food and wine bloggers. Then Ed showed me hot to check out Google’s page ranking of different websites using the Google toolbar. Now, the crew at Australian Blogs has come up with a list of the top Australian blogs. The rankings are based on the number of links to sites registered with Australian Blogs It was awesome to see some of my favourite bloggers, like Trevor Cook (50), Grods (139), crazybrave (101), and morsels and musings (250) feature high up on the list. For the record, Veggie Friendly came in at 285, which seemed pretty fair to me. There was only one catch to the rankings - you needed to be listed with Australian Blogs to qualify. That meant top notch blogs like Grab Your Fork weren’t rated, which is a pretty big oversight when you’re talking about the best, and noisest, Australian blogs.

Congratulations! Given the overwhelming “silence” that often greets a post you’ve diligently worked on, it’s not surprising that we often look to ranking reports as a means of reassurance

I’ve been caught out a few times when I thought no-one had read a post because there were no comments, only to have someonee bring up something I’ve written a couple of weeks later in conversation. Spooky! I’m so glad that you registered for the Australian Blogs site because Grab Your Fork was such an obvious omission from the list of top bloggers. Post a comment

And yeah, I just registered. I’m just as insecure as the next blogger Bad Behavior has blocked 2156 access attempts in the last 7 days.
